Here We Stand

Discover the fascinating journey of Peter Waldo, a wealthy merchant turned spiritual seeker. His radical decision to give up his wealth and embrace a life of preaching sparked a movement among the poor in Lyon. Dive into Waldo's innovative translation of the Bible and his critiques of Catholic practices, which led to both papal approval and eventual excommunication. Explore how the Waldensians laid early groundwork for Protestant beliefs, all while facing persecution across Europe. Waldo's legacy as a proto-Reformer is nothing short of revolutionary.

Explore the life of John Wycliffe, the Morning Star of the Reformation, as he challenges papal authority and champions Scripture's supremacy. Delve into his groundbreaking work translating the Bible into English, defying Church rules, and his influence on reformers like Hus and Luther. Discover the rise of the Lollards, who spread Wycliffe's teachings across England. Despite facing condemnation after his death, Wycliffe's legacy endures as a pivotal figure in shaping the Reformation.
